About Dale Carnegie

Dale Carnegie (November 24, 1888 - November 1, 1955) was an American writer and the developer of famous courses in self-improvement, salesmanship, corporate training, public speaking, and interpersonal skills. Born in poverty on a farm in Missouri, he was the author of How to Win Friends and Influence People, first published in 1936, which has sold over 30 million copies through many editions and remains popular today. He also wrote a biography of Abraham Lincoln titled Lincoln the Unknown and several other books.

Dale Carnegie was an early proponent of what is now called responsibility assumption, although this only appears minutely in his work. One of the core ideas in his books is that it is possible to change other people's behavior by changing one's reaction to them, but responsibility assumption is more along the lines of self-help religions rather than secular self-help courses.

Born in 1888 in Maryville, Missouri, Dale Carnegie was a poor farmer's boy. In his teens, though still having to get up at 4 a.m. every day to milk his parents' cows, he managed to get educated at the State Teacher's College in Warrensburg. Dale Carnegies first job after college was selling correspondence courses to ranchers, then Dale Carnegie moved on to selling bacon, soap, and lard for Armour & Company. He was successful to the point of making his sales territory, southern Omaha, the national leader for the firm.
